Photograph of a bassist playing a white electric bass, wearing a black Psychedelic Porn Crumpets shirt and jeans that are black on one leg and white with black vertical stripes on the other leg. The bassist is playing under pink and blue lights. The picture has white lines that have been drawn on the photograph to outline the bassist and then repeat outward, like an echo Black and white photograph of a singer, taken from her right. She is holding a microphone to her face with one hand, while the other hand is held up and slightly further away, palm open. Her surroundings are completely dark. The photograph was taken through a prism, giving a kaleidoscopic, repetitive effect to the picture. Black and white photograph of a guitarist on stage. He is wearing a striped button up and jeans, and his arms and hands are full of tattoos. Behind him is the rest of the stage where amplifiers and another guitar on a stand. Above him are several stage lights. Photograph of a drummer on stage, playing under bright pink and blue lights. The picture has a wavy white line that has been drawn on that encircles the drummer and then repeat outward. The line’s thickness varies and has a printed texture to it.

Photograph of a guitarist on stage, singing into a microphone. Pink and blue lights swirl throughout the photo, evoking a psychedelic vibe. Picture of a guitarist singing into a microphone while playing a left-handed Les Paul guitar. They’re wearing a grey sweat-suit. They’re playing under teal-blue lighting, and in the background there are two arcade machines and some string lights. A double-exposed photo of a singer who is wearing a toque and a green Algonquin College sweater. The first photo is a three-quarters shot from the left. The second, overlaying photo is a half-body shot from the right. The first photo is only visible through the shadows of the second photo, and the second photo is overlayed in such a way that it frames the singer within himself between the two pictures. In both shots, the singer is in front of various green, blue and purple lights. A grainy, black and white multiple-exposure photo of a drummer. The multiple exposures show the drummer’s head and arms at multiple different angles, overlayed to show his movement while playing. Behind him is a large tarp that says “House of TARG” (the name of the venue), string lights, a lamp, and some audience members. In front of him and his drumset is a guitar on a stand and an amplifier. Above him, on a ceiling painted to look like a night sky, is a disco ball.

Every time I think I’m over the murder of Twitter I read something like this and remember that Musk straight-out ruined lives and livelihoods all over again.

Picture of a sparse graveyard on top of a hill during a cloudy day in Percé, Québec. In the middle stands the back of a tall white crucifix sculpture. The graves surrounding the sculpture are on organized and unkept. Two of the graves are knocked over. Picture of a white wooden cross, nestled in overgrown bush and grass. The bottom half of the cross is obscured by the plants. Picture of a crow perched on a wooden fence. The fence blocks the edge of a cliff that descends into the ocean, however the ocean is obscured by dense fog. Picture of a foggy graveyard in Tadoussac, Quebec. The picture is facing the graves from the front. In the foreground, many of the graves are marked by gravestones, while more graves are marked by crosses in the background. The grass in the graveyard is dotted with yellow dandelions, and a crow is sitting in the centre of a grassy path in between graves. Behind the graveyard are trees and a red-roofed chapel that are slightly obscured by the fog.
